Praising God

You are praising God when you do your day's work. You are praising him when you eat and drink. You are praising him when you rest on your bed. You are praising him when you are asleep.

So when are you not praising him?

-- Commentary on Psalm 146, 2

Prayer. Human beings are your creatures, Lord, and their instinct is to praise you.

-- Confessions 1, 1
